Chapter 24 - Requests for Proposals and Competitive Negotiations

24.6 Issuing the RFP

The SPOC will issue the approved final RFP. Once the finalized RFP is posted in eVA and a newspaper of general circulation, the requirements definition phase of the procurement is concluded, the evaluation phase begins leading into the negotiation phase. The SPOC shall continue to serve as single point of contact during all phases of the procurement.

Any member of the PPT and/or ET shall NOT disclose any evaluation criteria, requirements, or budget information to anyone not on the PPT and/or ET prior to the posting of the RFP. Team members should be prepared to tactfully decline should a supplier contact them for information and provide the supplier with the SPOC’s phone number or e-mail address.
